Ukraine attacked two Russian refineries and several other key oil targets, just hours after the US granted Moscow another waiver on the sale of its sanctioned oil.

CNN quoted Kyiv’s ‌drone forces commander Robert “Madyar" Brovdi saying on Telegram that Ukraine had struck the Novokuybyshevsk and Syzran oil refineries in Russia’s Samara region, the Tikhoretsk oil terminal in the Krasnodar region, and the Baltic Sea port of Vysotsk, as well as an oil depot in Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea.
